Dockside in Colon, Panama

 Good morning,

This is dockside in Colon, Panama.  That is Royal Caribbean's Serenade of the Seas in the upper right corner.  

Our daughter, Catherine, and her friend, Erica, will board Serenade to transit the Panama Canal. I'm receiving images from both Catherine and Erica for which I am very grateful.  

Tomorrow will be more in port.

Watch this space!

Lunch at Chops

 Good morning,

Catherine and Erica are on board Serenade of the Seas.  Their first stop was for lunch at Chops Restaurant. 

 This is the view of the port from Chops before sailing.  Of course, the Panama Canal is used by all types of vessels, especially commercial so it's a working port.

Stay tuned!  More to come!

Welcome to Panama

 Good morning,

Welcome to Panama!  

Catherine and Erica are sharing their images of their cruise aboard Serenade of the Seas.  They've landed in Panama and will enjoy eleven days passing through the Panama Canal and to California. 

 Airport art!  I get a kick out of the sign in the upper right corner of the glass case saying just that.

 I look forward to enjoying the cruise with Catherine and Erica.  Kjell and I have been there several times when he was Chief Engineer aboard Splendour of the Seas.  This will be like old times.

I hope you enjoy the trip with us, too!

All the best,

Lois

Brown Iris

 Good morning,

This lovely Brown Iris bloomed along our front walk yesterday.  I'm sorry I don't remember the name of this color.  I planted it at least 30 years ago, probably 35. 

 I tried to research the name of the color, but there are so many close to this one that I can't be sure.

Anyway, it returns year after year to delight us with its beauty.

Ah, Spring....

Teddy is Coming to Visit!

  

Good morning,

Lots of images to come!

Repairs and Maintenance

 Good morning,

It seems we are busier since retirement than we were when working.  It is taking the better part of two days - so far - for maintenance on our heating and air.

Happy homeowners....

Work in Process - Basketweave Hat - Peacock Feather Colors

 Good morning,

I'm working on a basket weave stitch hat in peacock feather colors this week.  It's fun watching the colors change and arrange themselves as I knit.  

I took the image as I had just finished the ribbing and had started the basket weave stitch.

Fun!  I love smaller projects between larger ones.

What are you making, baking, growing this week?

All the best,

Lois
